The first marriage squeezed out the mistress, and the second marriage married the crown prince. Letizia relied on more than just beauty.
When she met Crown Prince Felipe , Letizia had an unclear relationship with a senior manager of Spanish TV station .
According to some media reports, they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
However, soon, Letizia and Felipe came together. After all, compared to the crown prince, I believe no one would choose the latter as their husband.
However, in the face of the crown prince's love affair, not only the royal family was opposed, but even the people were dissatisfied.
Because, before meeting Felipe, Letizia not only had a history of marriage, but also was a mistress. She has been entangled with her junior high school teacher for 12 years and squeezed out her teacher's wife.
Later, in order to become famous, Letizia also took large-scale artistic photos.
For such a woman full of scandals, many people asserted: The crown prince must be attracted by her appearance. When the crown prince knows her character, the two will definitely fall out.
But it turned out that Letizia not only married into the royal family as she wished, but also loved the king for 18 years.
made a comeback against the wind, what did Letizia rely on?
When it comes to Letizia on the station, even some male anchors will say: She is a "desperate threesome".
In 2002, a cruise ship sank in Spain. As the crown prince, Felipe naturally had to rush to the scene to express condolences to the injured. At that time, the reporter he met was Letizia.
Letizia is the leading actress of Spanish TV. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very professional.
Facing such a reporter, even though Felipe was used to seeing beautiful women, he couldn't help but feel moved. Not long after they met, they went on many dates.
At that time, Felipe had just broken up with his ex-girlfriend not long ago, just because the woman was too high-profile, and she kept using her "Crown Prince's Girlfriend" status to hype up.
Compared with such an ex-girlfriend, Letizia is so low-key that even Felipe admires her.
In 2003, the Iraq War broke out. As the girlfriend of the crown prince, Letizia not only did not retreat, but instead rushed to the battlefield to report.
Felipe was worried about this, but at the same time he couldn't help but be proud of his girlfriend.
After all, which man doesn’t like a woman who can fight alongside him? Not to mention, Felipe, who is used to seeing his mother weak, actually admires this kind of strong woman in his heart.
So, in April 2004, Felipe resisted all pressure and wanted to marry Letizia.
If you marry the crown prince, will you definitely become the queen? Don't forget that the British Diana is beautiful and more than 10 years younger than the crown prince, and she is also from a noble family.
However, she still lost to the "rules" of the royal family.
When Letizia arrived, she understood better than anyone else that her own war had just begun.
After the wedding, Letizia and Felipe accepted interviews with the media together. During this period, a reporter mentioned Letizia’s dark history.
Seeing this, Felipe beside him couldn't help but interrupt.
At this time, Letizia said: Please let me finish. Gentle yet firm, Letizia not only moved Felipe's heart, but also gained the favor of countless people.
Compared with dodder flowers, more people will like towering trees, right?
Moreover, after becoming the princess, Letizia has always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs. She never seeks the welfare of her natal family and always puts the interests of the royal family first.
In just a few years, the public's view of Letizia has changed a lot.
Not to mention, she also gave birth to an excellent heir to the royal family, Princess Leonor.
Before Princess Leonor was born, the Spanish royal family also emphasized "passing on from male to female". But after Princess Leonor, the royal family changed to a standing system.
Well aware of the heavy burden placed on her daughter, Letizia has never been a cat mother.
While other children are still playing in the mud, Princess Leonor is taking language classes; while her peers can eat whatever they want, Princess Leonor has to give up fried food for the sake of her image.
Under strict discipline, Princess Leonor lost a lot of happiness, but she also gained everyone's recognition. After all, she was featured on Spanish coins when she was 13 years old.
can only say that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
However, Letizia and her mother-in-law Sofia also had many disagreements because of their daughter's education.
Unlike Letizia, who was born a commoner, Sofia is a typical "blue blood princess" . She comes from the Greek royal family. Her father is the king, her husband is the king, and her brother and son are also kings.
is such a mother-in-law, but she was defeated by a commoner daughter-in-law.
Sofia's husband, King Juan, is a typical lothario. According to Spanish media statistics, he had more than 5,000 lovers throughout his life.
And when Sofia was pregnant, Juan did not stop cheating.
For this reason, Sophia wrote to her parents’ family to complain. But facing her daughter's sadness, her mother, who had been in exile, said: Do you want to be like me and become a "wasted queen"?
Not only that, around 1974, the Greek royal family fell.
Sofia's younger brother and younger sister defected to her sister together. At that time, Sofia's brother didn't even have decent clothes. It was only with Juan's help that his brother-in-law was able to solve his livelihood problem.
After that, Sofia’s sister simply lived in Spain and lived with her sister.
Her mother's family is unhelpful and her husband is carefree. Even though she is a queen, Sophia is not living a comfortable life.
In order to protect her and her son's identity, Sophia had to swallow her anger. As time went by, although Felipe felt sorry for his mother's experience, he also didn't like his mother's weakness.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why he married Letizia!
's years of patience have created Sophia's character of "suffering a loss is a blessing". When it comes to her granddaughter, her educational philosophy is naturally "love without boundaries".
Besides, she also felt sorry for her granddaughter, who had learned too much and was under too much pressure.
If it weren’t for the fact that there are always conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that outsiders can’t understand! Besides, as a noble daughter of a traditional royal family, Sofia originally wanted her son to marry a princess.
It is understandable that the mother-in-law is not satisfied with the daughter-in-law who is dressed in black stuff.
However, Sofia has no one to rely on, and Letizia not only has a tough personality, but also has Felipe's support behind her. Therefore, the media once photographed: Letizia pointed at her mother-in-law and spoke, but Sofia looked at a loss.
Seeing such a troubled queen, the people couldn't help but feel sad.
Later, the media mentioned this matter several times, and the relationship between Letizia and her mother-in-law slowly eased. Of course, everyone with a discerning eye knows: Although Sophia is the queen, she is no match for her daughter-in-law.
In 2014, old King Juan made another scandal.
He spent taxpayers' money to take his lover on trips; in addition, he also embezzled a lot of money.
Faced with such a monarch, one can imagine the public’s opposition? In the end, he hurriedly abdicated and fled, leaving the mess to his son Felipe.
After this, Letizia, who became queen, was even more prosperous than before, but she also became much more low-key.
For example, the relationship between her and Sophia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has obviously become much more relaxed than before.At the same time, the eldest princess Leonor was also pushed to the front.
A good-tempered mother-in-law, an infatuated husband, and an excellent daughter, Letizia is really a blessing.
However, Letizia can live such a chic life not just because she is beautiful. Behind her outstanding appearance is her stubbornness and bravery.
You must know that you should serve others with sex, and love will be with you when your sex wears off. Only by raising yourself to the same level as your significant other will the other person truly recognize you and rely on you.
And this is the biggest difference between Letizia and Sofia!
